Nigella Lawson’s choc-chip muffins {Thermomix}

July 26, 2014

Today I want to introduce you to a beautiful friend of mine, Sam, who I know you’re going to love. She’s bubbly and happy and it’s just so infectious. She writes over at The Annoyed Thyroid {think lots of great recipes, a super inspiring back-story and good times}. She’s fulfilling a big goal of running the Disney marathon later this year, which you can help her with by donating a few buckeroos here to her charity of choice. But first, muffins!

Today I’m here to share some muffin lovin’. This is one of my personal favourite Thermomix and one of my most popular blogged recipes. I reckon it takes less time to whip up a batch of these babies than it does to buy some at the shops (depending where you live, of course!) The bit I like best, is that with such a simple list of everyday ingredients, you have everything to hand and can create some muffin magic at a moment’s notice. What’s not to love? (And in the unlikely event that you have any left over, these babies freeze well too!)

Method

♥ Preheat oven to 180C / 160C fan-forced.
♥ Mill the sugar for 3 seconds on speed 9. Set aside.
♥ Pour all the liquid ingredients into the TM bowl. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 5.
♥ Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and the chocolate chips into TM bowl. Mix for 5 seconds on speed 4, using the spatula to mix. Don’t over mix! Remember a lumpy mixture makes the best muffins!
♥ Use an ice cream scoop to spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle with some extra chocolate chips on top and then bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.

Sam loves to bake, run, eat dumplings and make magic in her thermomix (but not all at the same time.) When she’s not baking, thermomixing, running or eating, she likes to kick cancer’s butt and look on the bright side of life.

You sure do, Dee. You can find the non-thermie Nigella recipe on Food Network

These are awesome, thank you for the recipe!! Have to admit I was making them at 6am (for school lunch boxes) and didn’t read the recipe correctly and left the milled sugar in when I added the wet ingredients and they still worked fine. I’m sure after the rave reviews from the kids I will be making these again and again

Ha! I’ve done that before but luckily these muffins come out top every time!

Silly question – but how many muffin does the recipe make – 12? I want to make 4 dozen for my son’s birthday!

My hubby made these today and they are divine!

I like to eat cake, laugh, sing {badly}, explore, dream big, shop, take pictures of clouds.
